State auditor seeks budget rise to expand Wisconsin audit bureau
Wisconsin state Auditor Robert Ringwood argues for 23 new auditors and two clerical staff to boost the two year budget to 2.4 million. He says the extra staff would pay for itself by increasing program and management auditing. Senator Dale McKenna supports larger staff, while Gov Lucey and legislators face a budget squeeze. The audit bureau already has 32 auditors. Ringwood says current scope lacks authority to compel agencies to act on recommendations.
